That's the problem with the current generation of Mac users, they don't remember Apple's history. There's a reason the first thing Steve Jobs did when he returned as temporary CEO of Apple in 1998 was to cut out the clone market.
This same reason still applies today as Apple's market strategy hasn't changed, nor as the market.
That's the number I remember. I know it was quoted elsewhere to be around that, maybe that's not the exact number.
When Psystar started doing this, I yeld "WTF are they doing?".

So I now take the opportunity to thank them from the bottom of my heart:
"Thank you Psystar for bringing the wraith of Apple on the OSX86 scene, due to your greed, you have sounded the death knell of the hackintosh scene. Apple now have the legal recourse to shut the OSX86 scene down as a precedent has been set (see point 2 above).
Thank you for ruining it for everyone you greedy stupid ******* (insert your own word here)"
Psystar have caused Apple to force it's hand and now it has been deemed illegal to supply software or hardware which allows non-apple hardware users access to the OS X software platform.
This includes rebel-EFi(points 3,4,5) Chameleon(points 3,4,5), ALL the distro discs(point 1), and more likely, kernel, driver and other software patches (points 3,4,5) used in the adapation of Apple's operating system.
Thank you very much.
